UCO Student Jazz Ensembles to Perform at the UCO Jazz Lab

January 18, 2008

The University of Central Oklahoma's School of Music will present the first concert of the spring semester for the UCO Student Jazz Ensembles at 7 p.m. Feb. 4 at the UCO Jazz Lab.

The three award-winning ensembles will perform a variety of big band jazz music to entertain audiences.

Each ensemble is comprised of 20 UCO students, selected by audition, and is directed by UCO professors Jeff Kidwell, Brian Gorrell and Lee Rucker.

In April, Jazz Ensemble I will compete at the North Texas Jazz Festival in Addison, Texas, which is one of the premiere jazz competitions in the country. Bands are chosen by recorded audition.

Tickets to the performance are $7 and may be purchased at the Jazz Lab box office or by calling (405) 359-7989.

Early reservations are encouraged, as shows sell out quickly.

Future UCO Student Jazz Ensemble concerts will be held at 7 p.m. on March 3, April 14 and April 24 at the UCO Jazz Lab.

For more information, contact Lee Rucker at (405) 359-7989 ext. 273.
